    I ended up swapping for an ASUS AX3000. This being the final straw, I have had multiple issues over the last year and change from SmartConnect not working at all to spontaneous reboots. I couldn’t go much more than a week without some sort of issue.

Just flashed the 1.03.88 firmware. Still seeing drops on 5ghz wifi network, at least twice in the last 30mins.
Haven't factory reset yet, might try that.
